Personal Description:

I am a science teacher and practising scientist. I enjoy teaching all age groups as well as SEN. I have an excellent exam pass success rate and tutor not just to pass exams but to enjoy the subject as well. CRB enhanced disclosure.

Tutoring Experience:

I have worked as a full-time teacher in the independent (private) school sector as well as a part-time teacher in the state sector. I have been teaching from home on a one-to-one basis for over 15 years.

Tutoring Approach:

I employ guided discussion to encourage creative, logical and practical thinking, thereby fostering an increased interest in the subject. I use books, whiteboard, modelling equipment and various other visual and tactile means to supplement the topic at hand. I believe it is important to not just learn what you need to pass the exam but to learn about the subject as a whole - this proves beneficial in the long term when pupils progress through to higher educational levels.

Qualifications:

Open University (2002) - BSc (Open) in General Science including Earth Science (Bachelors)(✘ Not On File)

Open University (1996) - Diploma in Health and Social Welfare (Professional)(✘ Not On File)

NadjaFrom Katerina (5/5): (Primary Maths)Ilse has only had 2 lessons with Nadja but seems to be really positive about her Maths work when she comes out of her lesson.
Nadja is friendly, flexible and obviously has a great way of getting children to understand their subject.

NadjaFrom Vanessa (5/5): (GCSE Combined Science)Many thanks for all the help you have given Matt for his recent exams. He has found the lessons really helpful and even enjoyed them too!

We would be very keen to enlist your help again in the near future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to other students

NadjaFrom Chris (5/5): (GCSE Maths)Nadja has been quite superb. She is very kind and patient and paces the work to suit the student. Hopefully the results this summer will reflect her hard work. But regardless of the final grade it has been really worthwhile.

NadjaFrom Kay (5/5): (Primary Maths)The tutor was excellent, however we stopped as we found a more local teacher.

NadjaFrom Elizabeth (5/5): (GCSE Biology)I found Nadja very helpful with both my children, especially my son as he is dyslexic and she explained it to him in a way that made it easy for him to understand.

NadjaFrom Lesley (3/5): (GCSE Combined Science)Emma only saw Nadja for 3 weeks but she said she learnt an easier way of doing a process. Her teachers were not sure if she would get a C but she took the higher paper against her teacher's wishes and got a C for chemistry and a B for biology (1 mark away from an A) so hopefully her time with Nadja helped her confiedence to do this.
